100 Days Of Second Grade

Katie's school celebrates the 100th day of school every year, by holding a parade and releasing 100 balloons into the sky. This year, Katie was able to be in the parade as a Cheerleader. I think only the Cheerleaders and Kindergartners participate in the parade, while everyone else watches.

 Of course she was her usual fun self during the parade haha.

 She was so beautiful in her outfit. I was so thankful I was able to do a decent pony haha. I tried to curl it, but for some reason, it never stays very long, even though I use hairspray. I suck at doing hair =/

 Katie and some of her friends.

I'm always thankful I'm about to make it out to these things to support Katie. Thankful to David for working so hard to allow me to do these things for our kids. It really does make Katie feel better to see Emma and I there watching her at her events. I love that girl so much.

Girl Scout Christmas Parade 2014

Katie's second parade of the year today! This time for Girl Scouts. This is her first year being in a Christmas parade, and now she was in 2. This one we all had to walk and hold our sign up. I pushed Emma in her car, and the girls took turns walking with their banner. The theme Thing 1 & 2 was picked  by the Palmdale Girl Scout Administrators this year. We didn't get a say in any of it. Very simple outfits.

I was thankful I packed water in Emma's car for us. Katie was drinking it up! Not that it was hot, just a lot of walking for the kids. Not too sure Katie liked this parade as much, just walking down the street while people stare at you haha. I think she was bored. Plus we were tired from getting home late at Disney on Ice last night =/

DCS Cheerleading Parade

Katie was in the Lancaster Christmas Parade with her Cheer Squad. David, Emma, my Mom, Mary and I went to cheer her on. Waiting for her to get to us was the hard part :p

Because she is in the younger squad, they were able to ride on the bus instead of walking the whole way. When Katie got to me, I thought something was wrong, she gave us a sad face and pointed to her throat. I was afraid she was sick or something. After the parade was over, I went to her to see if she was okay. She was thirsty. Crazy girl had me worried. Next time I'll be sure to pack a water bottle for her, lol.

It was cute. I wish I could have seen her better, but I know she would have gotten tired walking the whole way anyway. They looked cute in their new sweatshirts. Smart idea to wear those, since they would be cold in their uniforms. Proud of my girl.

Supporting Our Cousins

Karli's Mom sent out an e-mail inviting us to the Lancaster Christmas Parade that Karli was in for her dance class. We wanted to be there to support her, so David and I woke up early and got the kids ready to go. I made Katie hot chocolate for the ride, because it's cold out! We were pleasantly surprised to hear that Madison and Hannah were going to be in the parade too! =) When we got there we met up with Anthony and Ashleigh to watch the parade.

As soon as the girls all went by, we headed for our car, it was so cold! On our way to the car, it started raining all over us =/ Good thing we left when we did! I don't want my girls getting sick! Glad we were able to go for them though, I like having them know we're there for their events.
